Suzuki Kyokushōsai I, a Tokyo-based kagoshi (basket-maker) who participated in exhibitions during the 1920s and 30s, seems likely to have been connected to the Hōsai lineage of bamboo artists. An earlier Chinese-style piece by Iizuka Hōsai I or II, executed in a similar combination of rarely seen elaborate plaiting styles, is reproduced in Tochigi Kenritsu Bijutsukan (Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts), Take no mezame: Tochigi take kōgei no seika (Masterpieces of Bamboo Art In Tochigi), Utsunomiya, 2014, pl. 1.
